Hints For Grammar Presentation: There Is The Same Number of Each Card
Hints For Grammar Presentation: There Is The Same Number of Each Card
Part One: Finding things in common time expressions with Present Simple game
Choose cards from the pack that you are given and try to make true statements about
yourself that are true for at least one other person in your group. For example, if you say “I
always eat sandwiches for lunch” and someone says “Me too!”, you can take the “always”
card and score one point. If you can combine two cards with sentences that other people
agree with like “I almost always brush my teeth in the morning”, you can get two points. If
they have the opposite reaction (e.g. “Really? I never do” or “Not me, I do three times a
day”), you have to put the card back and play passes to the next person. The person who
has the most cards at the end of the game wins.
Divide the “How often…?” cards into two groups and put each group into order by how
often they mean.
Divide the “When…?” cards by the prepositions that they take – “on” or “in”.
What do the different things that go with the same preposition have in common with each
other?
Why do those two groups take different prepositions? How are they different from each
other?
Part Three: General statements with time expressions and Present Simple
Try to make statements starting with “Most people in my country…” and both a frequency
expression and another time expression that your partner agrees with such as “Most
people in my country usually take a bath in the evening”.
